Matt White - leaving tigers

 

 

**** truck. Can't believe Port would actually want him instead of just adding another kid.

Harsh.

He's quick, has good endurance, breaks the lines and is a good role player, would complement want Port already have and he costs them nothing.

 

Who would he replace?

 

They had Aaron Young playing HFF/sub for the last five games, White's a definite upgrade on him, when they moved Broadbent to the HBF they effectively started playing 8 defenders in the 21 for the last third of the season - Carlile, Trengove, Jonas, O'Shea, Pittard, Logan, Colquhuon and Broadbent - some of those were either strictly rotating through the bench or rotating through the wing, none of those guys that were rotating through the wing are linebreakers, White is. Kane Mitchell played half the season, White's just as quick but doesn't butcher the ball by foot nearly as much. Cassisi effectiveness as the lead tagger has started waning, you could give those jobs to Moore and free up a spot in the 21 as Cassisi offers little these days outside of tagging.

That is just off the top of my head.
